Configuring GVRP Quick Steps for Configuring GVRP
OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide March 2008 page 5-5
3 Port 3 of Switch B receives the advertisement, Switch B creates the dynamic VLAN 50, and Port 3
becomes a member of VLAN 50.
4 Port 2 advertises VLAN 50, but is not a member of this VLAN.
5 Port 1 on Switch A receives the advertisement, creates dynamic VLAN 50. Port 1 becomes a member
of VLAN 50.
The resulting configuration is depicted below:
Dynamic Learning of VLAN 50
Note. Every port on a switch is not a member of all the VLANs. Only those ports that receive the
advertisement become members of the VLAN being advertised.
Quick Steps for Configuring GVRP
1 Create a VLAN using the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 5 name "vlan-7"
2 Assign a port to the VLAN using the vlan port default command. For example:
-> vlan 5 port default 3/2
3 Propagate the VLAN out of the assigned port using the vlan 802.1q command. For example, the
following command propagates VLAN 5 out of port 3/2:
-> vlan 5 802.1q 3/2
4 Enable GVRP globally on the switch by using the gvrp command.
-> gvrp
5 Enable GVRP on the port by using the gvrp port command. For example, the following command
enables GVRP on port 3/2 of the switch:
-> gvrp port 3/2
6 Restrict a port from becoming a member of the statically created VLAN by using the
gvrp static-vlan restrict command. For example, the following command restricts port 3/5 from becom-
ing a member of static VLAN 10:
-> gvrp static-vlan restrict port 3/5 10
